Needing to replace thirty year old speakers.

I have a thirty year old pair of Canton ergo 80 speakers. I 

never felt they were that good. My current system includes

a Chronus magnum dark integrated amplifier, a Cambridge 

audio can v2 streamer and two Svs 2000 pro subs. The

Chronic dark replaced an Adcom 555-2 amplifier and an

Adcom 565 preamplifier. I always thought the Adcom 

equipment sounded harsh in the upper midrange. The

Chronic solved that problem. It is better than the Adcom

equipment in every way. I like speakers that are slightly 

warm sounding but still give detail. My budget is around 

$5,000, maybe a little more. What speakers would sound

good with my setup? If a recommended speaker allowed 

Me to delete the subs, my wife would be happy 😊

Also,I live in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming. There's nowhere out here to audition speakers.

ATC is on another level. Not that MoFi is not good but to me ATC enjoys the benefits of a long line of speakers, R&D, testing, economies of scale, etc. MoFi is a concept and it shows.

No fairy dust today, in today’s market 5 new will give you less than you’ve now IMO. Used speakers is the way to go with plenty out there. Analogy is similar to a car. You drive it off the lot, keep it for a short period of time your warranty is done. You got 30 years out of the system that you have now, where are you gonna be in 30 years ?
